Late October 2023 saw moderate snowfall in northern and central regions. So far November weather has been mostly dry in central and southern regions. Northern regions saw more rain than snow the first week of November but have accumulated some snow since then. All snowfall totals are since November 1 and all open terrain is on snowmaking. Prior model forecasts for this week have been scaled back and next week looks dry. Thanksgiving is going to be strictly WROD skiing. December snowfall will need to be well above average for decent skiing at Christmas.
